Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want Thanksgiving to be celebrated in the UK, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We can accept petitions calling on the Government to make particular days bank holidays, but it is up to individuals whether to celebrate particular occasions.
